| Description of the problem | Topic: sirius satellite radio uses a unsafe prompt which forces drivers to take their eyes off the road and hands off the wheel, while driving, in order to remove it from the screen. This prompt is their attempt at forcing consumers to call and subscribe to their service. In my ford f-150, i am able to use a button on my steering wheel to toggle through the audio sources (such as am, fm, cd, or phone. Sirius satellite radio is also one of those options), safely. The sirius satellite radio was a feature that was already installed in the truck when it was purchased from the dealership. I have never subscribed to their service nor do i wish to. Unfortunately, every time i toggle through and get to the sirius source, a prompt shows up on the screen (see photo) and i am forced to take my eyes off the road and my hands off the wheel in order to hit |
